[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the total number of each type of ball, we need to first calculate the number of basketballs, baseballs, and softballs.

- Basketballs: 2 * 8 = 16 basketballs
- Baseballs: 5 * 8 - 4 = 36 baseballs
- Softballs: (36 / 2) + 6 = 24 softballs

Therefore, the total number of each type of ball is:
- Footballs: 8
- Basketballs: 16
- Baseballs: 36
- Softballs: 24
